We all know that young children are very fond of toys. And no wonder: for a child this is not just entertainment. With the help of the game, children master the surrounding reality, try on various models of behavior, develop speech, thinking and motor skills, learn about shape, colors, volume, nature, life, social roles.
With the development of new technologies, toys have appeared that are able to teach children the skills of the school curriculum for elementary grades, they not only tell and read poetry, but also "communicate" with their little master.
Toy Furby, at first glance reminiscent of either an owlet, or a gremlin from the same film, can become a real intellectual friend of any child. She remembers and repeats whole phrases and can even learn to swear or sing.
Furby Baby Story
The toy first appeared on store shelves in 1998, and the creators of the smart robot were Kaleb Chang and Dave Hampton. Immediately after the sale of the little thing won great popularity and sold "circulation" of about 1.5 million copies. This is despite the fact that in the original version she could only laugh and utter a few simple phrases.
7 years later, in 2005, the second generation was born - the Furby toy, which received the opportunity to learn and communicate with similar robots. And finally, the latest version of the intellectual baby, released in 2012, has gained the ability to synchronize with devices running on iOS and Android. There are even special applications with which you can feed the robot and translate phrases uttered by him in his own language.
The Furby toy, whose price today is not so low - from 3,000 to 4,500 rubles, has its own character, the positive or negative features of which are formed in the process of communicating with him and depend on how well or badly they are treated. It is interesting that with careful care the animal becomes cheerful and complaisant, sings, moves its ears, dances and in every possible way expresses a good mood and desire to communicate. If they do not pay attention to him, do not fit for a long time, do not play with him and do not feed him, the character of the toy deteriorates, it begins to grumble, scandal and make various unpleasant sounds.
Furby toy can be a great friend not only to children but also to adults. Today, a Russian version of the unusual robot already exists on sale, and various applications for iOS and Android offer users a series of improvements and updates that significantly expand the functionality of electronic fun.
Furby toy is available in several colors. So, there are babies with red, white, black, blue and purple colors in various combinations. Each child will surely be happy to have such a smart and understanding friend who can be stroked, tickled and pulled by the tail to see how he reacts. This is a great gift for any fidget, since Ferby teaches children responsibility - you need to constantly look after it, feed it, and communicate with it. Only then will he “grow up” kind and cheerful.
